The Chinese Air Force Has Adorable Cartoon Mascots

China Military Online, an official web portal of the People's Liberation Army, drew up some cartoon mascots of aircraft in service with the Chinese Air Force. The mascots include the People's Liberation Army Air Force's most advanced planes, even the Shenyang J-31 stealth fighter you see above.

These kinds of cartoon mascots are ubiquitous across east Asia, and the Chinese military is no exception. The images were made to celebrate next week's Chinese New Year, a public holiday in China. 2016 will be the Year of the Monkey.
